Apple Nz website Leaks details of new ipods 50 & 80 gb

[robPOD]

Holy **** i was just on the apple New Zealand website and saw this. New Ipods Tomorrow? http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/3928/untitlednr3.jpg link to the page here (http://store.apple.co.nz/public/product/group.php?pgid=AP78)
EDIT: just checked its not there any more

[jsw]

Just so people know - look at the third item.

[Kingsly]

I called it! Yesssssssssssss. *high five's self*


Im so buying one. :D :rolleyes: :)

[WildCowboy]

It's not on the page anymore...either it was pulled within seconds or the OP is having us on.

50 and 80 GB doesn't sound logical to me...given known platter sizes, I'd expect a single platter 40 GB and a double platter 80 GB model.

[katie ta achoo]

the word "full" looks strange.. it doesn't fit with the rest of the text; it looks like it stands out.

but it could just be me; I woke up about a half hour ago.

[stevehp]

Just so people know - look at the third item.

It's already gone from the site. nice find if its not a fake :)

[Old Smuggler]

Boy they took that one down quick!
but we knew it all along

[Kingsly]

I do find 50GB to be a little odd.

[jsw]

It sucks that we're going to have to wait so long to find out the truth.

Oh, wait. Even if Gizmodo's wrong, we've only got a half day to go....

[technocoy]

Fake.

Full is capitalized where it doesn't make sense, and the remote description doesn't reference the "Full screen iPod".

plus, calling it a fullscreen iPod seems stupid... it IS a full screen iPod. lol. What is a half screen?

the wording is hokey.

[EricNau]

It looks real to me, but I find those HDD sizes odd.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow! :D

EDIT: After reading it closely, I'm starting to doubt that it's real. There is an extra period in the sentence, "Compatible with iPod with full sized display. (50GB, 80GB)."

[sushi]

50 and 80 GB doesn't sound logical to me...given known platter sizes, I'd expect a single platter 40 GB and a double platter 80 GB model.
Agree. It is strange.

A possibility. Maybe they are using different vendors.

I like the full size display description. That's sounds great.

Guess we'll know soon.

[technocoy]

plus, every other description says 3 pack and that one only says 2 pack...

[robPOD]

i promise this is true i am just as suprised as you guys are about the hdd sizes:confused: . hell im definately getting one.:cool:

[zephead]

The "F" on "Full" doesn't have that kind of fuzz around it like the other normal letters. BS! :rolleyes:

[Old Smuggler]

you mean that warm fuzzy feeling ?
yeah i noticed that too

[WildCowboy]

Hey guys...look what I just spotted on Apple NZ...

Sorry...the OP may have actually seen something, but there are a number of things that call the legitimacy into question. And when it's as easy as this to create a fake, I'll hold out for the real deal.

[kainjow]

The "50GB, 80GB" text is positioned higher than the other ones that say "60GB". That seems kind of odd too..

[Foxglove9]

I'm usually a skeptic, but I'm going to say this looks legit.

[zephead]

Hey guys...look what I just spotted on Apple NZ...

OMG an coffee grinder iPod?! I'm camping out in front of the nearest Apple Store!! :eek: :D

[Foxglove9]

OMG an coffee grinder iPod?! I'm camping out in front of the nearest Apple Store!! :eek: :D

I just pre-ordered mine from that website, so I'll be the first to have one before anyone else. Suckers! :p

[Daveway]

Can someone give a description of what was actually on the page before it was taken down?

[WildCowboy]

Can someone give a description of what was actually on the page before it was taken down?

Look at the screenshot in the original post...third item in the picture.

[MattDell]

Agreed.

[technicolor]

Why is the image cropped?

Even so you can mess with the html...

I call horse logs on this...

[rtdgoldfish]

The coffee grinder edit looks better than the full sized screen :p

[TechWhore]

I'm calling fake and shenanigans on this one. To my knowledge no manufacturer makes a 50 GB hard drive. To make one souly for the ipod would not be beneficial to them. You would have had me if you said 40G. Plus apples is not known to have gramatical errors in their website.

[jamdr]

This is pretty obviously fake to me. The capitalized "F" in Full screen iPod really gives it away, and the extra period as well.

And, as others have said, it would be stupid for Apple to call it the "full screen" iPod. That sounds really lame.:rolleyes:

[pknz]

Plus apples is not known to have gramatical errors in their website.

On the contrary, Apple websites do sometimes have small typos, fullstops instaed of commas and the like...

[Nermal]

Note that the "Select" buttons are missing.

[KKKL]

And so is mine!
The iPod nano 6GB, 8GB

[iMeowbot]

The "50GB, 80GB" text is positioned higher than the other ones that say "60GB". That seems kind of odd too..
Yeah, two pixels off, no browser's going to do that to a simple line of text.

We really need a better class of hoaxers.

[Bibulous]

Please be true, I would love a full sized ipod, I keep misplacing my mini.

[macenforcer]

Nobody ever believes anything. I say its true. Apple has done the before. Remember the G5 specs before they were released? I do.

[Nermal]

Yeah, but Apple NZ are clueless - they're just a distributor. In addition, they never have new products straight away.

[pknz]

Yeah, but Apple NZ are clueless - they're just a distributor. In addition, they never have new products straight away.

Yeah too true. I wish we had an Apple presence in NZ, although being Appleless did result in you getting 10.4 earlier as I recall.

[jamesmcd]

I hate buying Macs here in NZ, I usually do it when I am home. (obviously that isn't the only reason I go)

[robPOD]

what i think you guys are forgetting is that this was an updated page that was taken down so of course theirs going to be differnces and obviously it wasnt final e.g no select buttons. i know what i saw

[pknz]

I hate buying Macs here in NZ, I usually do it when I am home. (obviously that isn't the only reason I go)

Yeah, they are way expensive and you can't configure them on the apple.co.nz website so you can't get a quick easy estimate of a BTO Mac in NZ.

[Old Smuggler]

I call horse logs on this...

:D

[BurtonCCC]

The large text isn't in the Lucida Grande font. Obvious fake. Not even halfway compelling. Good try. But this is horse logs indeed. :)

Daniel.

[robPOD]

i think if you compare the text to the one on the apple nz website its exactly the same beleive what you want to beleive youll find out im right tommorow

[zephead]

WOAH look what I found on that same website!! It's real, I swear! :D
It might as well be this obvious on the other pics lol.

[maxterpiece]

WOAH look what I found on that same website!! It's real, I swear! :D
It might as well be this obvious on the other pics lol.
holy *****!

[iMeowbot]

The large text isn't in the Lucida Grande font. Obvious fake.
That part would be normal on a system without Lucida Grande installed (almost any non-Mac machine out there).

[chewy5000]

the word "full" looks strange.. it doesn't fit with the rest of the text; it looks like it stands out.

but it could just be me; I woke up about a half hour ago.

Yeah, a capital F, it does look bigger than the rest. And the whole image looks like it could ahve been tampered with.

50 gig?

[Jimmieboy]

I'm going to agree with most people and call it a fake. Why would you have Full capitilized but not sized? Doesn't make sense to me. I guess time will tell. Not long now

[Kingsly]

Yeah, a capital F, it does look bigger than the rest. And the whole image looks like it could ahve been tampered with.

50 gig?
It really is a 50GB iPod. I typing this on one right now. Sadly, my camera broke and left me with only one picture:

[ro2nie]

And so is mine!
The iPod nano 6GB, 8GB
HAHAHA!!! That looks made with Microsucks paint...
At least change the font to Lucida Grande... LOL

[theappleguy]

Just remember that in New Zealand, Apple's products are imported by a company called Renaissance. They are basically a glorified Apple reseller of Apple Australia and therefore I doubt they will have any information that a regular Apple reseller anywhere else in the world would have.

[pknz]

Yeah Reniassance...

They haven't replied to my last email.:mad:

[mckvakk]

The norwegian store tells of a dock adapter for 40GB and 60GB
"Apple iPod Universal Dock Adapter 3-pakning for iPod med fargeskjerm (40 GB, 60 GB)

Bruk en Dock-adapter for å koble iPod til iPod Universal Dock og andre produkter som bruker Universal Dock-systemet. Kompatibel med iPod med fargeskjerm (40 GB, 60 GB).
Price: NOK 79,00"

I'm no expert, but has there ever been a 40GB ipod? or maybe they just wrote it wrong?:p

[Kingsly]

Yeah, there was a 40GB 4G iPod. I believe it was thicker than the 60, though.

[iMeowbot]

I'm no expert, but has there ever been a 40GB ipod?
Yes, that size is for real (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2003/sep/08ipod.html)! (what is fargeskjerm ?)

The 3G iPod in it's last revision was 15GB, 20GB and 40GB
The 4G iPod came out in 20GB and 40GB
The 4G iPod photo came in 40GB and 60GB

So yeah, there have been a few 40GB iPods.

[Kingsly]

LOL, we all must've been typing at the exact same time. :D

No doubt about it, we WILL see full screen iPods tomorrow.






I hope. :o

Fargeskjerm is color screen

think that they will release a U2 Special Edition cgPod? Will it be compatible with all roasts, or only the especially good ones? How many hours of grinding will I get before I have to recharge? The questions are endless...

[aafuss1]

A good and then funny leak by Renaissance-Apple's distributor in NZ.

[robPOD]

you guys are just taking the piss now

[aswitcher]

8 hours to go. Sigh.

[robPOD]

ok guys i didnt mean for it to go this far (front page of engadget) this is fake i made it in paint :(

[jamesmcd]

It's sad how desperate people are :p Treating an obvious fake like it could be true. Also, who cares if those iPods did appear? 50GB and 80GB yah. :(

Edit: Also, thanks for giving New Zealanders a bad name :-\

[Chundles]

It made the front page of Engadget? Geeze...

Wasn't even a decent GoLive re-jig of the html either.

[Jo-Kun]

hmmm with coffee grinder... well I hope they will build the iGrind allso without iPod so I can use it in my kitchen with my existing iPod or maybe the combo iGrind/iSpresso for the real coffeeaddicts like me :D

since iPod sales are going a bit down find some new exciting products what about iBlend iMix iToast or the all new iWash dishwasher :D

I see the new adds: Hi I'm a PC, Hi I'm a mac, see all my new extra's so I can be a coffeegrinder/espressomachine/toaster/... o and don't forget you CAN buy our premium brand coffee and just like our ramupgrades: overpriced because you'll buy them anyway...

woeha ;-)

[Chundles]

If it's a U2 Special Edition then they're not going to limit you to specific beans but you'll get better battery life if you choose ethically farmed beans specially endorsed by Bono for their role in "helpin' de' starvin' chil'ren."

[pknz]

Also, thanks for giving New Zealanders a bad name :-\

Oh well. We kinda bring it on ourselves sometimes...

[Nermal]

I re-jigged some HTML a couple of months back and got applauded for my excellent Photoshop skills :p
